Part-36
A week later...
Sujal and Sam go to an Italian restaurant with some foreign delegates...it's the same resturant Sujal and Kashish always came to...they took a seat and made themselves comfortable..10 minutes later Kashish and Neha walk into the same restaurant...as they were about to sit at there table..Kashish sees Sujal sitting a few tables away...she sits down whilst looking at him....but he was busy with the delegates that he did not see her...Kashish was looking at him when Neha noticed her look lost..
Neha: mam..kahan kho gayi hain aap?
Kashish: woh SG...samne ke table...
Neha turns around and sees Sujal and Sam..she turns towards Kashish...
Neha: mam..are you ok here..aap chahen to hum kahin aur ja sakte hain
Kashish: hmm..lets just have coffee here and leave .....is tarah ab kuch liye bina nahi ja sakte...
Neha: ok mam..
They were sat waiting for the waitor when she saw a waitor approach Sujal's table..taking their orders...she knew he'd order his favourite Spinach pasta with no carrots...she listened to him carefully..
Sujal: erm..i'll have a spinach pasta thanks...
The waitor was collecting the menus...Kashish realised he forgot to say no carrots..she stopped the waitor as he was walking past her...
Waitor: yes mam...would you like to order?
Kashish: yes....two coffees ..but listen....abhi woh samne ke table pe sir ne jo Spinach Pasta order kiya hai....please dont put any carrots....its my request...
Waitor: par mam..sir ne to kuch nahin kaha..
Kashish: tumhe apni jaan bachani hai ki nahi...
Waitor: ji..ji mam..i'll make a note of it
The waiter makes a note of it and then leaves from there...
Neha: mam..Sir ko carrots pasand nahin hai
Kashish: dont even ask...
Neha just smiles at her...20 minutes had passed..Sujal was talking to the delegates when he stopped in between and looked at Sam whispering..
Sujal: Sam!..i forgot to tell the waitor to not put carrots in my pasta!..tum please jaldi jao before the food comes
Sam: oh ...ok Sir main bas abhi...
He was about to get up from the chair when he stops seeing the waitor approach them again...he started placing the food infront of the delegates...when he placed Sujal's pasta down infront of him...Sujal picked up his fork..moving the pasta but to his surprise there was no carrots in there...Sam was equally shocked at this...he just looked at Sujal in surprise...Sujal looked at the waitor...
Sujal: excuse me...how did you know i didn't wnt carrots?
Waiter: mam across the table informed me of that...
Sujal: mam?..erm..could you please show me where she is..
Waitor: yes sir...
Sujal gets up from the chair and follows the waitor...a slight confused look on his face...when they reached the table they saw that it was empty...
Sujal: yahan pe to koi nahin hai?
Waitor: she must have left...
Sujal: hmm...ok..thanks...
The waitor walks away from there...leaving Sujal in deep thoughts..when his eyes fell on something...he looked at the table and saw a napkin on which it was written.. "don't worry...i will never forget...NO carrots in your food".. sujal just looked at it for a moment..knowing it was Kashish who was there...he picked it up and touched it with a smile...he folded it and placed it in his pocket..walking back to his table with a smile
***********************************************************************************
2 days later..
Sujal was in his car..driving towards work...when the signal turned red...he was looking out of a open window...his arm resting on the window...when he heard a familiar scream...he pushed his head out and looked ahead seeing Kashish stood there screaming at two guys...Sujal was shocked...the signal turned green and Sujal quickly moved forward and parked his car on the side...he got out and started walking towards her
Kashish: stay right here.......I will show you.....you spoiled my dress.....
Boy: mam..we are sorry..humne aapko dekha nahin tha..
Kashish tum dono ruko....I will call the police...
When Sujal rushes towards them...
Sujal: Kash!..whats the problem..tum itna chila kyun rahi ho?
Kashish; hun..in idiots ne meri dress.....
When Sujal looks at her dress which had mud all over the bottom...and it was more visible because it was white...Sujal looks at her and then the boys..
Boy: Sir humse galti hogayi...humne inhe dekha nahin...aur bike ki waje se inka dress ganda hoga..
Boy 2: Sir humne mam se sorry bhi kaha par woh police ko bulane ki dhamki de rahi hain..
Sujal: Kash...just leave it...don't create a scene in the middle of the road..
Kashish: no way hun....ise main nahi chodungi...yeh log kal phir se karenge...
Sujal: hun..dubara aisa nahin hoga..dubara hua to tum police ko bula lena ok...ab chalo
Kashish: no way hun....isse main chodungi nahi....I will put this mud on his face...
Sujal: hun..chalo...come with me...
Sujal comes in between her and the boys and holds onto her shoulders...moving her back...he held her hand and started dragging her towards his car...the boys took this opportunity and zoomed off from there...Sujal made her sit in his car and closed the door coming to his side...
Sujal: hun what is wrong with you!
Kashish: whats wrong with me....those idiots spoiled my photoshoot...
Sujal: matlab?
Kashish: I have magazine cover photoshoot...
Sujal: oh...ok just relax..ab jo hogaya so hogaya..i'll take you to the mall...just buy another one..
Kashish: but still...they spoiled my mood....
Sujal just looks at her..the anger visible on her face...he tries to calm her down...
Sujal: waise...acha hua yeh dress kharab hogaya...i mean its not all that...
Kashish: tumhara matlab kya banta hai....
Sujal: come on hun...tumhare design kiye huye outfit isse kahin zyada ache hote hain...your too beautiful for this dress...tumhare pehanne se is dress ki khoobsoorati kam hogayi hai...
Kashish: to ab kya karna hai..
Sujal: to ab...i think hume mall chalna chahiye...to select an extra beautiful dress...that way..once you wear it...atleast it will still look a little beautiful..
Kashish: thik hai....lets go...
Sujal: not like this...pehle smile karo
Kashish: I cant...my mood is off...
He just looks at her and then holds her hand into his..enclosing his fingers with hers...
Sujal: come on hun...mere liye smile kardo...please
Kashish: why for you...
Sujal: because you know i love your smile..
Kashish: reallly!!!!!
Sujal: yeah!..tum to aise kehrahi ho jaise tumhe kuch pata hi nahin
Kashish: sab kuch pata hai muje...
Sujal: kya pata hai tumhe?
Kashish just looks looks at him with a smile...
Sujal just looks at her...returning her smile...
Sujal: now thats more like it..
Kashish: shall we go now...I am getting late...please...
Sujal: yeah sure..ab chalte hain...
Sujal looks at her and then starts the engine..driving off from there towards the mall...
***********************************************************************************
20 minutes later...
They reach the mall...Sujal somehow managed to convince her to go to the mall as she was not ready to go due to her dress being dirty..they reached the shop and she chose a dress with Sujal's help..she took the dress and went to the changing room to try it on...she was trying to wear the dress when her watch fell off in the process and dropped on the ground...the glass broke and the battery fell off...Kashish picked it up..frustrated at what just happened..and then took it outside to where Sujal was stood..
Kashish: today is unlucky day off my life.
Sujal: kyun..ab kya hua?
Kashish: yeh watch tut gayi....and you know i cant live without any watch..........
Sujal just looks at the broken watch in her hand..he takes the watch and looks at it...
Sujal: thats useless now...no problem...we'll get you another one...
Kashish: yes...lets check it out if they have
Sujal: chalo...
Sujal and Kashish look around when they reach the watches section...Kashish starts looking at the display..and picks up a watch without a fastening...she tries it on and looks at it
Kashish: how does it look....
Sujal just looks at the watch and then at her..he takes her hand and removes the watch..putting it back on display...he picks up an expensive designer watch with a fastening and fastens it around her wrist...
Sujal: that looks perfect now...
Kashish: hun...i cant fasten this by myself...lets just buy the one i choose..
Sujal: yeh waali bhi to tum baandh leti thi na kaise bhi karke...aur waise bhi...this is a gift from me..
Kashish: gift...kis liye...
Sujal: its a gift in return of the shirt you had sent me as a gift...humari engagement anniversary pe..
Kashish: but It was not expensive..
Sujal: woh shirt mere liye tumhari di hui har gift se zyada keemti hai...even more than this watch...
Kashish: I am sorry but I cant take.....shayad main zindagi bhar isse keemti gift tumhe na de saku..
Sujal: aisa nahin hai...tumhari ek muskurahat bhi is ghadi se zyada keemti hai..aur woh to tum muje pehle de chuki
Kashish: but..
Sujal: no ifs or buts...tum yahin watch logi..and thats final
Kashish: hamesha ki tarah wahi karoge jo tumhe karna hai...
Sujal: tum jaanti ho main bohat ziddi hoon
Kashish: mujse jyada aur kaun jan sakta hai...
Sujal just looks at her...
Sujal: erm...chalo...lets go pay for it
Kashish: Thank you,,
Sujal: your welcome...just leave it on...i'll take the tag and pay for it
Kashish: hun..
Sujal: hmmm..kaho
Kashish: nothing...
He just looks at her as he was removing the tag...he then looks back down taking it out and goes to the till to pay for it...after making the payment he comes back to her
Sujal: all done..ab chale?
Kashish: itni jaldi pay ho gaya..
Sujal: itni jaldi?...hun pay karne me kitna time lagta hai
Kashish: true...lets go...
Sujal: Kash...muje aisa kyun lagta hai jaise tum mujse kuch kehna chahti ho
Kashish: nahi..aisa..aisa kuch bhi nahi..
Sujal: to phir..tum mujse nazre kyun chura rahi ho?
Kashish: main..main aisa kyun karungi..
Sujal: wahin to main jaana chahta hoon...kya baat hai?
Kashish: kuch bhi nahi
Sujal: agar tum nahin batana chahti to main tumhe force nahin karunga...chalo
Kashish: hmm..chalo..
Sujal just looks at Kashish who moved her gaze and looked down...Sujal started walking out as Kashish followed him
***********************************************************************************
2 days later in the evening...
Kashish was sat in her lounge in her tank top and shorts watching tv...she was going to go to the kitchen to make some coffee for herself when the doorbell rang...Kashish got up and walked to the door opening it...she was surprised to see Sujal stood there..
Kashish: tum..yaha..
Sujal; haan...woh..I needed some signatures...I need to take out some money from our joint account..so I need your signatures too
Kashish: tum pehle andar to aao...
Sujal just nodded as she moved aside...he walked inside and she closed the door behind him..following him inside...Sujal turns to look at her...
Sujal: i just need a few signatures...urgent tha isliye aagaya...warna i would have called you before coming
Kashish: its ok..take a seat....i will sign..
Sujal: thanks...
Sujal sits down on the sofa...and she comes and settles beside him...he opens the file and shows her wear to sign...she takes the file and places it in her lap...signing the sheets

Sujal: haan bas abhi abhi wahan se nikla me
Kashish: wanna have coffee....
Sujal: ermm...yeah sure...
Kashish: you just make your self easy....i will make..
Sujal: thanks
Sujal settles himself on the sofa properly whilst Kashish goes into the kitchen to make the coffee...she switches on the kitchen light and goes towards the fridge to take out the milk when suddenly her eyes grew wide in fear and she jerked back...she screamed and quickly climbed the counter top...standing on top of it she screamd continuously...Sujal who heard her screaming rushed to the kitchen
Sujal: Kash!!..kya hua
Kashish: hun woh....woh waha
Kashish points towards the floor where Sujal sees a cockroach...he just looks back at her as she looked so terrified...
sujal: hun...are you still scared of bugs?
Kashish: hmm....alot....please use bahar dal do..
Sujal just shakes his head and walks over towards the cockroach...he picks it up in his hand and walks towards her...
Sujal: aaj to main tumhara darr durr karke rahunga...hun kuch nahin hota...tum aise hi darr rahi ho...look i am holding it too...ab haath aage karo

Kashish just starts to cry in fear...sujal looks at her and realises its really scaring her...he picks it up and goes towards the window throwing it out...
Kashish: I hate you....tum jante ho phir bhi....I just hate you..
Sujal walks towards her...
Sujal; i'm sorry hun...i didn't mean to scare you..i was trying to get rid of your fear
Kashish: I know...tumhe maza aata hai muje pareshan karne me..
Sujal; hey...i'm really sorry...sach me..i didn' do i purposely...ab please rona band karo...and come on get down.
Kashish: nope...just leave me alone...
Sujal: hun...come on...get down..

Sujal just looks at her and then pulls her down...she was now sat on the worktop crying...he moved forward a little...wiping away her tears...
sujal: shhh...hun...its ok..its gone now
Kashish: it will come back again..
Sujal: it won't...i threw it out of the window...now come on...stop crying...
Kashish: hmm......
Kashish stops crying and about to get down from countertop when he screams for Cockroch.....Kashish gasps and hugs him tightly closing her eyes..not willing to open them...Sujal who was laughing at first calmed down seeing her react in such a way...he just held onto her wrapping his arms around her...
Sujal: hun...its gone..i was just joking
Kashish: I hate you hun so muchh....
Sujal: are you sure about that?
He slowly starts caressing her shoulder with his lips...as she closed her eyes tighter than before...digging her head in his neck..hiding herself
Kashish: hmm...i am sure....
Sujal pressed his lips against her neck as he kissed her...whispering
Sujal: really
Kashish: ek bar kaha phir bhi samaj nahi aata...
Sujal runs his hand along her leg and grabbed hold of it wrapping it around his waist...he lifted her up into his arms as she held onto his neck tightly with both her arms and her legs around his waist...she was not willing to let go of him..his hands started running along her back as he whispered..
sujal: i don't beleive you
Kashish: kya....you know how much I hate you..
Sujal: is that so...then why is your heart beating rapidly whenever i touch you
He slowly walked out into the lounge as he placed her down on the sofa..coming on top of her...his lips kissing her chin
Kashish: i dont know....my heart is not in my hand ...thats why..
Sujal: so who has control over your heart then hun?
he slowly rubbed his nose with hers....his breath kissing her lips
Kashish: you know the answer..
Sujal: exactly...thats why i said...you don't hate me...and i just proved that...
He moved his lips to the side and kissed her cheek...as he moved back...getting up...Kashish just looks down and get up and sat on sofa not looking at him.. Sujal just looks at her and then picks up his file...
Sujal: main chalta hoon...coffee phir kabhi pee lenge....take care by...and don't worry about the bug
Kashish: hmm...bye..
Sujal: bye..
Sujal just looks at her for a moment...and then leaves from there taking his file..as he closed the door behind him...Kashish just sat down on sofa looking at door while touching her cheek,,,,
Kashish: I love you hun....I love you so much,,,
***********************************************************************************
In the previous days..Sujal and Kashish seemed to be coming closer...which didn't go unnoticed by Sam and Neha...Sam and Neha decided to try there luck and bring them close again..so they plan a movie and decide to bring Sujal and Kashish without the other knowing...after a lot of convincing...they managed to bring them to the theaters on Saturday night...Neha and Kashish arrived at the theaters...they purchased their tickets...Neha was looking towards the entrance..when she spotted Sam and Sujal...she was relieved..
Sujal: Sam...i really am not interested...can we just go back
Sam; sir to kya main akele movie dekhne aata.....ab aap yaha aaye to chaliye bhi...
Sujal: to Neha ko le aate tum...i mean it makes more sense..she is your girlfriend right?
Sam: ya she is...lekin use mam se fursad mile to na...
Sujal: hmm..acha theek hai..chalo..
They walk a little further...when Neha acts surprised...
Neha: Sam...aur Sujal Sir...yahan!...Sam!..Sam!..here..
When Sam looks in her direction...Kashish turns around to see Sujal stood with Sam...they both just look at each other...Sam drags Sujal...
Sam: hey Neha..tum aur mam yahan?
Kashish: ya woh Neha insists me to......per aap dono...
Sujal: woh Neha ne Sam ko movie ke liye mana kiya to...he insists me too come...
Neha: Sir..woh kya haina...i thought i'll come out with mam for a change...we haven't been out for a long time...
Sam: acha woh sab chodo...movie ke liye dair horahi hai..i'll go get two tickets for me and Sir...
Sam walks off from there to get the tickets...whilst Neha went and got two boxes of popcorn...Sujal and Kashish just passed a smile to each other and then looked away..when Neha came back..passing Kashish a box...and then Sam returns with the tickets...they then made there way to the theater...the movie had just started...Neha and Sam quickly went and sat on a set of 2 seats together...leaving Sujal and Kashish...they looked around and saw 2 empty seats on the opposite side...Sujal and Kashish just looked at each other...
Sujal: wahan chalen?
Kashish: hmm...sure...
Sujal looks at her and then walks to the seats with Kashish following after...they both sat down...they looked at each other and then started watching the movie...Sujal was least interested...and would occasionally just look towards Kashish...when she saw him look towards her...he just whispered...
Sujal: this movie is so boring..
Kashish: to ab main kya karoon.....we came with them so we have to watch...
Sujal: you know i find horror films pathetic..they aren't even scary
Kashish: hun please be quite..aur kamse kam dusro ko to dekhne do..
Sujal: pata nahin yeh sab kaise dekh rahe hain...ab popcorn kha ke hi time pass karna parega...
He reached out for the popcorn in her hands and started eating it...a while later..Kashish felt some weight on her shoulder...she looked to the side and saw Sujal sleeping..his head had settled on her shoulder...she smiled seeing a popcorn stuck to the edge of his lips
Kashish (whispers) : what do I with you hub?......
Kashish just moved forward gently talking of the popcorn from his lips brushing her fingers over his lips....he just smiles at her in sleep....he bends down on her shoulder more deeply holding his arm...An hour had passed by...by now Sujal was sleeping soundlessly...his head dug deep between her neck and shoulder...and his arm around her waist...it seemed as though he hadn't slept for days...he felt so peaceful being close to her too...sleeping with a smile on his face...when he opened his eyes breathing in her beautiful fragrance...he moved back a little and realised where he was...
Sujal: hun..i'm sorry..why didn't you wake me up?
Kashish: because I didnt want to end this moment..
Sujal: i haven't slept so peacefully for days either...
Sujal just looked deeply into her eyes for a moment...and then snuggled closer to her again...his head still resting on her shoulder...and arm..encircling her waist...
Kashish: what happen hun..
Sujal: hmm...nothing...i just want to stay this close to you till i can
Kashish: the movie is ending in 20 mins...
Sujal: i still have 20 minutes...
Kashish: hmm......you have time and me..
He lifts his eyes to look at her...and then rests his lips on her neck...closing his eyes again...Kashish just closed the eyes holding his hand in hers tightly...He felt her hand in his...and slid his fingers into hers..enclosing their hands together...his lips now slowly moving along her neck..
Kashish: hun..,move back.....we are in public,,,
He was slowly breathing on her neck as he whispered..
Sujal: shhh..its dark in here
Kashish: but still hun....its akward..
Sujal understands and moves back...sitting back in his seat properly..
Sujal: i'm..i'm sorry
Kashish looks away...
Kashish: its...its ok..
They silently sat looking at the screen for the rest of the movie..but there heart and mind had still stopped on the previous moment they shared..
